My bucket list – Living life to the fullest!

cherieladie, bucket list

Bucket list. As 2014 rolls along, i don’t intend to set any new resolutions for the year. I think my resolution is always the same, year on year – living life happy and to the fullest.

What it really means to me is, being out there enjoying whatever that I am doing, trying new things, doing the things that I love, being with the people I love, and simply, loving everything that’s in my life.

There are so many more things that I want to do/achieve in life, and I think i’m almost halfway through the journey, which is why I am going to try creating a bucket list instead. I’ll add on when I think of something new, and I’ll strike them off and put a date to it when I fulfill any of the items. I guess, it’s gonna be really cool to check back each year and see the items I add on or strike off.

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.

    Impressive list! I don’t think I would dare to do more than half of what you have there. Heh. Have you visited Cinque Terre? You should put it on your list if you haven’t! Stunning sights and amazon food. It’s where pesto sauce originated apparently, and it’s really worth visiting.
